Abstract

In this monograph, the authors present the existence of obesity among the aborigines of ancient Peru. As evidence of the existence of this disease, in addition to the ethnohistoric source bequeathed to us by the Indian chronicler Guamán Poma, they present precious ceramics of ancient Peruvian cultures in which characters with obesity are represented.
